How the Inter-stat Commerce RIil Affects
the South


the south
ATLANTA, Ga April I2.-The C0HstiiH-
ton this morning publishes long interview
with Gen. +. F. Alexander, President of
the Central Railroad system, on the Inter-
State Commerce Act. Gen. Alexander
says the great trouble with the law as il
stands will not permit competition. Under
the pooling system the practical destruction
ofcompetition was bad enough; under this
law competition is destroyed by it. The
pool was flexible affair, adjusting itself
fully and freely to the demands Of trade, TO
complications in commerce and necessities
and interests of business communities. But
the Interstate law is inhexihle, provided
it is put in operation. Ii is a law that
may be good for the North and East but
Its effect are seriously felt in the South
wherever the provisions are carried out.
Until the passage of the Interstate Com
merce act there was no restraint on free
competition among carriers; there being
no penalty attached 10 il IL became the
universal custom wherever two lines came
in contact. This gave advantage to such
points not possessed by others, and busi
ness centered at them; manufactures
sprang up and property increased in value
around them. Places which were nln-
eXerted themselves and raised
money by various devices 10 secure CON-
petition. Many of them, perhaps, paid
much more than the advantages were
worth. II seems at first not very serious
thing to do, but think, upon examina-
tion and reflection, it will apper 10 have
very far reaching effects. Values of prop
erty all over our Southern territory have
under conditions which will
he materially changed if penalties are to
charged to competition. The situation
will not be unlike what would result in q
district, which had grown
up for forty years under a protective tariff.
Values would be.all unsettled, and would
have to readiust themselves. This is al.

ROME, N. Y, April Express Messenger
Lake, who was robbed between Clark'S
Mills and Frankfort Wednesday night,
reached the latter place about midnight
and was able to proceed to the doctor S
Office, where his wound was dressed. He
was shot IN the upper part of the right arm,
the ball passing through the shoulder and
causing ugly wound Soon after his
tram left Clark's Mills man entered his
car through side door which he had showed
back, saying as he entered: Throw up your
hands, Lake did not realize for a moment
what was up and failed to comply, and the
intruder thereupou shot him. Lake fell to
the floor, and his assailant said: Now,
- you; when tell you to hold up your
hands again you'll do it, won't you!" The
robber then bound Lakes hands and feet
and put gag in his mouth. Then he took
a bunch of keys out of the pockets of the
messenger and unlocked the safe, which he
rifled of the money packages, securing be-
tween 300 and $500. The robber left the
car at the Delaware, Lackawanna & w est
ern railroad crossing, but before leaving
said to Lake: - you, if you say any
thing about this l Will come back and kill
you" At Utica the was opened and
Lake freed from his uncomfOrt-

Manual and Mind Training.

DR.. John w. Dickinson, before q
number of ladies and gentlemen at
the Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology, in Boston, the other day. pre-
sented some reasons why, in his jndg-
ment, industrial education, the educa-
ton of manual training in the schools
should not supersede the existing sys-
tenn, whose object is the training of
the mind. The general principle I'M
DERIVING his address is that the cultiva-
ton of mechanical dextelity does not
hold any necessary relation to intelli-
gence or virtue. Manual skill is not
always associated with high intellect
ual power, but intellectual power may
give direction to mechanical skill. He
claimed in a very able argument that
if it is fact, as alleged by some, that
the present system of common school
teaching inclines to materialism, to in
troduce mere mechanical teaching will
be to further develop this materialism,
On the other hand he declares that it
has been found that those who take mp
the work of life with minds trained to
observe, to analyZe, to generalize, and
to reason, joined with that self-control
which enables one to turn his full at
tention to whatever he desires to do,
soon outstrip all others in the amount
of character. of their elforts.-M3ntre

Favors Unconsciously Bestowed.

ly handsome and novel design, which,
coming from very dear friend, We're

One of the guests, after admiring the

pocket, and most of the other guests
one by one followed her example, while
the dismayed and indignant hostess.
utterly unable to understand the mean
ing of such proceedings, looked on in

departed she counted her treasures,
and found she had but two left. The

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, April lin the Had
dock murder case yesterday Minnie Kosch-
insid swore that Arensdorf, to aid her and
Koschinski to leave the city, purchased
the@ house and lot and gave her mother
ESQ IN money. At this point the State rest
ed its case.
Policeman W. A. Smith, the first witness
for the defense, testified he saw Bismarck
on the night of the Sd on the corner OF
Douglas and Fourth streets, drunk, and
told HIM to gohome. This was about mid
night and after the killing of Haddock.
Adolph Metz testified that he met BIS
maEck' about nine o'clock August 3, as he
(''Bismarck'') was coming out of Herman's
saloon. He next saw Bismarck at one
o'clock in the morning, very drunk, on the
sidewalk near his residence, where he
manned about an hour. He saw him again
at nine o'clock in the morning, when he
was partially obered up, and he said he
had not been home that night. The wit
ness was cross-examined, but nothing Of
special interest was developed.
William Metz, father of the last witness,
testified that Bismarck had asked for
admittance to his house at very early
hour on the morning of August 4.
Oscar Brldewell, a policeman, testified
that he saw ''BiSmarck' at 1870 C.n the
night of August on the corner OF Fourth
and Douglas Streets that he was a witness
at the scene of the killing, which happened
about 10:15. 1t was shortly after this when
he ordered Bismarck" who was very
drunk, to go home.
George Rice testified that August he
had tried to employ "Bismarck'' to assist
him in digging we'll and that he offered to
pay him So per day, but he had refused it,
saying that he and Treiber could make
more money doing up preachers. He saw
him at his place about twelve o'clock on
the Sunday morning prior to the shooting,
and that time he said he and George Treiber
could make more money doing up lawyers
and preachers than digging wells, but did
not say any thing about killing preachers.
"Bismarck'' was then recalled and de-
MED all the statements made by Rice, ex-
cept that Rice called at his home on Sun
day.
Rice was then cross-examined, but his
evidence was not shaken.
